1923 (Ca) East State Street Approaching Rider College

What a delightful photo! There is no date on this Maxwell photo, but an un-educated guess places it as about 1923. The diner, the Jones Jewelry Store and the Marmon sign lend a very interesting view of that section of Trenton during the "Roaring Twenties."

HI TOM....IT'S STRANGE TO SEE WHAT THAT AREA LOOKED LIKE BEFORE THE POST OFFICE AND FEDERAL BUILDING WAS BUILT NEXT TO RIDER C0LLEGE. I WORKED THERE FROM 1941 TO 1955 AND THAT DINER WAS ACROSS THE STREET AT THAT TIME, NEXT TO THE MOOSE HOME. YOU KNOW, I ALSO HAVE A SUBERU AND THAT'S ONE THING WE HAVE IN COMMON. REGARDS AND GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK.
